Two minutes later, Obito Uchiha was escorted up by two Konoha Jōnin...
At this moment, Obito Uchiha was wearing a white prison uniform and heavy black shackles on his feet, forcing him to take small steps.
Thin black chains pierced through his scapulae. Since the ninja who did it deeply hated Obito Uchiha's actions, they were very rough.
Every step was excruciatingly painful, like drilling into the heart and scraping the bone. Moreover, the shackles were very tight, chafing his flesh with every movement.
The large white prison shirt and pants were stained with blood, making him look quite miserable.
Of course, he had to look miserable. Otherwise, how could the participating ninja vent their hatred?
In addition, Obito Uchiha had sealing jutsu placed on his body to prevent him from refining chakra, and most of his important chakra points were blocked.
Only the points needed for movement were left unblocked. The points on his head were not restricted; otherwise, wouldn't it be boring to judge someone without perception?
Having regained his intelligence, Obito Uchiha didn't lose his dignity. Despite the constant pain and the hatred of thousands, his back remained straight, his face expressionless, and his eyes emotionless.
It was as if he wasn't there to be judged, but to judge others...
"Damn it, what are you so arrogant about, you prisoner?"
"If I didn't know better, I'd think you won."
Kageyama Kogetsu, sitting nearby, was annoyed. A prisoner should look like a prisoner, not some righteous hero!
Receiving Kageyama Kogetsu's order, the two Konoha Jōnin immediately kicked the back of Obito Uchiha's knees hard, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
Obito Uchiha groaned but remained expressionless, though anger rose in his eyes.
The two Konoha Jōnin dragged Obito down the small path of steps on the cliff, with tens of thousands of eyes fixed on him...
Except for a few with complicated gazes, the others were either resentful or relieved.
Dragged from the platform on the mountain to the stone platform built on the ground, Obito Uchiha was made to kneel for trial.
Along the way, Obito Uchiha kept resisting, trying to stand up, but was knocked down by the two Konoha Jōnin.
Seeing him still resisting on the trial platform, the two Konoha Jōnin hardened their hearts and directly broke Obito Uchiha's legs, forcing him to kneel whether he wanted to or not.
The pain of broken legs made cold sweat seep from Obito Uchiha's forehead, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
With the prisoner in place, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up with a piece of paper, walked to the edge of the platform, and read out Obito Uchiha's crimes...
Kageyama Kogetsu didn't do this face-showing task himself but designated Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Firstly, it was to let the aged Sarutobi Hiruzen have one last moment of glory, as he had at most three years left to live.
Secondly, it was to let Sarutobi Hiruzen vent his anger.
After all, his wife, his wife's disciple, his valued grand-disciple, and his subordinates all died at the hands of Obito Uchiha.
Konoha, which he valued most in his life, also suffered heavy losses because of Obito Uchiha.
As for himself, he didn't need this kind of glory.
Hmm... also because there were too many crimes, and he was too lazy to read them one by one.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen announced two crimes, Obito Uchiha saw Kakashi and Rin Nohara in the crowd below.
Kakashi's appearance was expected, but Rin Nohara's appearance was completely unexpected.
Obito Uchiha stared blankly at Rin Nohara, his face full of disbelief...
Rin Nohara met his gaze with a complicated look, then lowered her eyes.
The mistakes Obito made were too severe; she couldn't forgive him!
Rin Nohara in the original story might have forgiven him, but Rin Nohara influenced by Kageyama Kogetsu absolutely would not.
"Rin, is that you? Is that you? Is that you?" Obito Uchiha roared excitedly.
Without needing orders, a Jōnin from the Hyūga clan reached out and hit Obito Uchiha's mute point.
Obito Uchiha stared intently at Rin Nohara, with only one thought in his mind.
Is it Rin? Is it Rin? Is it Rin...?
After reading the crimes, Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered chakra in his throat and said in a deep voice, "Obito, do you plead guilty?"
The Hyūga clan Jōnin reached out and released Obito Uchiha's mute point, but Obito Uchiha turned into a broken record again...
Kageyama Kogetsu chuckled, "Since you want to confirm, I'll grant your wish and let you know how wrong you were."
"Kakashi, Rin, go up and meet this traitor who betrayed your friendship and will."
Although Kageyama Kogetsu's voice was soft, it easily reached everyone's ears.
"I didn't betray our friendship!" Obito Uchiha roared at the sky.
"Fine, let's say you didn't betray it. But dare you say you didn't betray their will?"
"What did Rin encounter back then for?"
"To protect Konoha."
"Kakashi completed numerous missions for Konoha, narrowly escaping death countless times for Konoha."
"What about you?"
"You, on the other hand, turned against Konoha after suffering a setback."
"How did Konoha wrong you?"
"You even attacked your teacher and his wife who loved you dearly. You were just a dead-last ninja back then; did they ever despise you?"
"Inhumane, a beast!"
"Among the tens of thousands of ninja present, who hasn't experienced the pain of separation and death?"
"Who wants to destroy the world like you?"
Obito Uchiha was rendered speechless. Hearing the last sentence, he roared in defense.
"I didn't want to destroy the world. Once the Eye of the Moon Plan is realized, the world will have true peace!"
"The dead can also be revived in the genjutsu world. Everyone can realize their dreams and live the life they want most."
Hearing Obito Uchiha's words, the ninja present thought he had gone completely mad.
Ridiculous. Is that revival?
That's just a thought, a thought of the ninja who know of their existence.
"Deceiving yourself and others, twisting logic. I think your determination to execute the Eye of the Moon Plan isn't as firm as imagined."
"To tell you the truth, you were deceived."
"I interrogated Black and White Zetsu. Everyone caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi will eventually turn into White Zetsu."
"The peace you expected never existed from the beginning..."
Hearing this, Obito Uchiha was stunned.
The ninja present were also stunned.
Turning into those monsters?
The next moment, discussions erupted, sounding like a swarm of bees buzzing around...
Obito Uchiha turned a deaf ear, his head hanging low, until Rin Nohara and Kakashi spoke up.
Putting aside the Eye of the Moon Plan for now, the urgent task was to figure out if the Rin in front of him was real or fake!
If she was real, what exactly happened?
Obito Uchiha looked up at Kakashi. Although surprised by Kakashi's left eye, he turned to look at Rin Nohara.
"Are you really Rin?"
"I am. Obito, you've disappointed me too much." Rin Nohara looked complicated, her eyes filled with disgust.
All the actions of others combined couldn't compare to Rin Nohara's words, expression, and gaze.
Especially that look of disgust, which pierced deeply into Obito Uchiha, as if looking at a pile of dog shit.
The physical pain was nothing compared to the mental pain. Obito Uchiha felt like he was going to break down.
"Ah..."
He couldn't help but go crazy, screaming at the sky. The sound was extremely sharp and loud, as if he were going to vomit his internal organs.
The discussions among the ninja disappeared, and everyone looked at Obito Uchiha on the high platform.
What happened?
He was quite calm before. Why did he suddenly scream a hundred times worse than a pig being slaughtered?
Kakashi and Rin Nohara were startled, involuntarily having the same thought.
Is this really the Obito we knew before?
